While another bar would be the perfect spot to accommodate the spillover from the Blue Ribbons (Sushi and Brasserie), a bar is not being considered. What could possibly fit into the 250 sq. foot store front? Soho is known for their cast-iron facades, however, most people don’t realize that the average store front in the non-cast iron buildings are extremely small, making Soho home to numerous hair and nail salons.

As far as current nail salons in operation: there is the nail salon the majority of the locals go to (Thompson Street Nails – $11.50 manicure), the nail salon by the same owners the majority of the locals go to… but with a higher price (Sullivan Nails – $12 manicure), the nail salon that is known for its nail art creations (Marie Nails – $10 regular manicure, $20 deluxe manicure), the nail salon that is just excessively expensive (Spanail – $30 manicure), the beauty salon that also does nails (Spa Belles – $15 manicure), the nail salon that is a block north of Houston (New Model Nail – $14 manicure), and the list goes on and on.

Thompson Street Nails – 137 Thompson Street

Sullivan Nails – 147 Sullivan Street

Marie Nails – Prince between Thompson and Sullivan

Spanail – 120 Sullivan Street

Spa Belles – Spring and Sullivan

New Model Nails – Bleecker and Sullivan

When looking at the Red Bench, pictured below, you can see the resemblance to Sullivan Nails, pictured above. Will this once quirky, mostly unrefined establishment head to the land of nail and/or hair salons? Sohostrut hopes that Manhattan Skyline knows that Soho does not need another nail salon.
